Hello, all. I'm new to the list (and to MacRuby!), so I give my
apologies in advance for any newbie indiscretions.
I was working today with MacRuby as a scripting language within a
Cocoa app, and found a difference between how Ruby and MacRuby's eval
functions relate to their calling context.
Here's a reduction:
% irb --version
irb 0.9.5(05/04/13)
% irb
>> eval("f = 12")
=> 12
>> f
=> 12
% macirb --version
DietRB (0.6.1)
% macirb
irb(main):001:0> eval("f = 12")
=> 12
irb(main):002:0> f
NameError: undefined local variable or method `f' for main:TopLevel
I'm sure I'm missing something super basic. I followed a number of
false leads in trying to figure this out before emailing the list,
including checking out the $SAFE global (0 in both cases), and
constructing Bindings to the calling context (same result).
Thanks in advance for your patience and your help!
Best,
Braxton Sherouse
